New: Square Appointments Calendar Improvements

[Ryan_M]

Hello everyone,

We’re excited to announce a few improvements to the Appointments calendar that can help you manage recurring and canceled appointments: 

Recurring Appointments Improvements:

• Cancel “this and following” on iOS and web - previously you could only cancel a single appointment in a recurring series, or all appointments in a recurring series, but now you can cancel an appointment and any appointments following it. Note that this feature is not yet available on Android or Square Register.
• “On Nth W Day of the Month'' on all platforms - previously you could only create “On Nth Day of the Month” appointments but now you can create appointments that recur on the Nth weekday of the month. For example, while previously you could only create a recurring appointment “On the 1st Day of the Month”, now you can create a recurring appointment “On the 1st Monday of the Month”.

View Canceled Appointments on Calendar on iOS

You can now view canceled appointments on your calendar on iOS.

When you or a customer cancels an appointment, you can now confirm that the cancellation went through and have visibility into cancellations on your calendar.

To use this feature:
1. Go to calendar settings.
2. Under Additional Filters > Turn on the “Show canceled appointments” filter

3. Canceled appointments should now appear in gray with a strikethrough on all calendar views.

Let us know if you have any questions below!

I do have a ? about notifications while in square appointment app. If someone books an appointment while app is open I get a text message and a email, I did have a message pop up once that a new booking happened while I was in app. That has only happened once. If it's an option to have a pop up happen when app is opened to be able to click on it to be taken to the actual booking. That would be great if it was. Am I missing something in the features for this?
